Defense Racial Traits

Scaled Skin: The skin of tieflings provides some energy resistance, but is also as hard as armor. Choose one of the following energy types: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. The tiefling with this trait gains resistance 5 + 1/2 their level in the chosen energy type and also gains a +1 natural armor bonus to Defense. This bonus increases by +1 at 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level.

Arcane Absorption: Tieflings gain a Spell Resistance equal to their level. Additionally, if a spell fails to effect them due to their Spell Resistance, and the spell was Arcane in origin, they regain the spell’s level in HP or Bliss (or double the spell’s level if considering non-lethal damage). ) 0-level spells do not heal them this way.

Infernal Legacy: At first level, Tieflings can cast Thaumaturgy at will as a spell-like ability. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast Hellish Rebuke once a day as a spell-like ability. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the Darkness spell once a day as a spell-like ability. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these Spells. The caster level equals the tiefling’s class level. If you are able to cast spells, you may add these spells to your list of known spells.

Talk to me: Once per day, you may ask a corpse one yes-or-no question, as per the spell speak with dead. You gain an additional use of this ability at 4th level and every 3 levels afterwards (7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 19th). This is a spell-like ability.
